PowerPoint - PropoFeature/Functionality

[2bbjr]

Hello,

I am searching to see if PowerPoint has the capablilty to lock out slides
from a viewer.
Example Being: I would like to send a Business Plan / Proposal to a
potential partner. I would like for my first 2 slides to be an introductin
and a Non-Disclosure Agreement - I would like to create the presentatin in
such a way that if the customer accepts the terms of the non-disclosure by
clicking on a " I Agree" button then he or she can then proceed with viewing
the additional slides which contain the proprietary informaion. If the
customer chooses not to agree to the terms by clicking on a "I Agree" radio
button then they would not be able to view the remaining slides and that
information would remain not viewable to any one.

I hope I clearly communicated what I am hoping to do and that someone out
there can tell me if this is possible

Thanks Always!

Yes, sort of, and not that great.

You could do something with code but... If the information is that
sensitive, I would not trust it to a PowerPoint presentaion. Only you can
judge if its critical and if so I would suggest sending the NDA before
sending the presentaiton.

To be honest, I don't know that an NDA form as part of a presentation and an
"I agree" click would hold a lot of weight in court if it ever came to that.
"Heck, I thought the NDA thing was part of the presentation and I thought I
was supposed to click the button".

Can be done but it's never going to be super secure or as Austin says
probably not legally binding.

I've uploaded a simple demo to www.pptalchemy.co.uk/Agreement.zip for you to
try out.

I would suggest providing your presentation as an msi installer to include
the EULA. There's also a simple demo of this
www.pptalchemy.co.uk/Agreement2.zip.

Hope that helps
